Suspended Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon responded on Twitter to his latest failed drug test.

After missing the entire 2015 season, the Cleveland Browns were hoping they could get Josh Gordon back on the field in 2016 to pair with new quarterback Robert Griffin III. With Gordon’s reinstatement looming, people wondered just when he would become an active member of the Browns again.

Well that isn’t going to happen again any time soon, as it was reported Mike Garafolo on Monday, that Gordon had failed a drug test last month because of a diluted sample.

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean that Gordon will be suspended for the entire season again, but the prospects of him being reinstated certainly don’t look good after another failed test. With Gordon reportedly failing another test, he took to Twitter to give his response to the whole ordeal.

It’s clear that Gordon isn’t happy with the latest failed test and there’s been plenty of people defending Gordon that the league has been hammering him way too hard. Whether or not which side of the coin that people are on when it comes to Gordon, the latest news isn’t going to help him get back on the field any quicker.

Gordon was one of the most promising talents in the league and it’s clear that he hasn’t gotten himself on track yet. With all that in mind, it now begs the question of whether or not he will ever see the field again.

If his tweets are any indication, he certainly isn’t optimistic.

If the saga wasn’t building already around Gordon, he decided to make another tweet about the report of his failed test.

He certainly doesn’t agree with the story and what’s being reported. Ultimately what Roger Goodell decides regarding his reinstatement will really tell the story of what’s going on.
